Trijicon TA44 1.4x ACOG Review
http://i.imgur.com/VEkTk5zl.jpg
I realize lots of folks haven't used ACOGs outside of the 3.5x (TA11) and 4x (TA31/01) but I've always been a fan of the lower powered ACOGs personally. Finally finished up the review of the TA44 so here you go for your reading/viewing pleasure:
Pros:
-It's an ACOG so it's EXTREMELY durable
-Great glass clarity
-Dual tritium & F/O illumination (can be a con but in most scenarios it's not IMO)
-Lightweight
-Clear picture for folks with astigmatism
-The circle/dot reticle is fast up close
-Wider FOV than other 1.5x prism type optics
Cons:
-ACOGs aren't cheap
-The reticle can obscure small targets at distance (described in the video)
-Mini ACOGs have some mount limitations
